While they mainly try to keep the focus on the title fight at Neerpede, there are rumors about the future of Zeno Debast. The young defender seems to want to choose his next club before the European Championship and his transfer seems to be gaining momentum in recent days.
It has been reported for weeks from Portugal that Sporting CP would like to sign the 20-year-old, but now that deal also seems to be gaining momentum. Based on reports in recent days, the clubs would approach each other after Sporting increased its offer. It is also reported here and there that Debast already has a personal agreement with the Portuguese champion.
West Ham reports for Debast
Also Corn futebol now confirms that a five-year contract is ready for Debast in Lisbon, but at the same time adds that Sporting has not yet succeeded. Even more: in recent days, West Ham is also said to have reported wanting to hijack the transfer.
The English have also been lurking for some time, but would now take action. Debast would face stiff competition at the Hammers. The 35-year-old Ogbonna is out of contract, but they still have Zouma, Mavropanos and Aguerd as central defenders.
Anderlecht can collect 20 million including bonuses
Then his chances of playing at Sporting seem greater, where two important players in the defense may be leaving with Gonçalo Inacio and Ousmane Diomande. Moreover, Debast could also play in the Champions League, while West Ham will not be active in Europe next season.
Maisfutebol also knows exactly how much Anderlecht will be allowed to collect if an agreement is reached with Sporting. The clubs are currently negotiating a fixed transfer fee of between 13 and 15 million euros, to which another 5 million could be added in bonuses. This way, the total transfer fee can ultimately reach the 20 million they hope for at Lotto Park.
